In his second decade of overseas service, Liu Xiaoqian embarked on a unique journey across the United States. He visited nearly fifty states, venturing into crowds and dangerous areas, traversing cities and villages, attempting to uncover the shrouded truths. As a long-time observer, he was able to calmly and precisely touch the wounds of this nation: at the scene of imminent protests, "Make America Great Again" and "Racial Equality" are two slogans that are not contradictory, yet they both push Americans together and pull them far apart; Black men who escaped the cotton fields of slavery are forever trapped in the nightmare of lynching, unable to find their place in the national myth; at the ruins of former federal schools, a group of people searched like a needle in a haystack for the burial grounds of children's remains—would they succeed?

在驻外生涯的第/二个十年,刘骁骞开启了特殊的走遍美国的行程。他踏足将近五十个州,深入人群和险地,穿梭城市和村庄,试图看清那些被笼罩的真相。他是长期徘徊此地的路人,得以冷静而精准地触摸这个国家的伤口:在一触即发的抗议现场,“让美国再次伟大”和“种族平等”是两句并不矛盾的口号,却将美国人推挤在一起,又将他们远远拉开;逃离奴隶棉田的黑人男子永远困在私刑的梦魇中,在民族神话中找不到自己的位置;在一个个残垣断壁的联邦学校旧址,一群人如海底捞针般寻找着埋葬着孩童遗骨的墓地,他们会成功吗?
